1-4

Not only is Luck 6’4", 235 pounds, but he has a tremendously strong and accurate arm that is capable of making every throw a professional quarterback has to make.

His ability to call his own plays is unheard of in college and Luck put up one of the greatest collegiate careers without the aid of a strong receiver.

Considering Cam Newton and Andy Dalton went to Hawaii this year, there is no reason to doubt Luck’s chances of being a Pro Bowler in his rookie season.

2. St. Louis Rams: Matt Kalil, OT, USC

The Rams have to get better protection for Sam Bradford and Kalil is as good as it gets.

3. Minnesota Vikings: Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State

The Vikings have a glaring hole at the position and need to give second-year QB Christian Ponder help. Blackmon is the top playmaker available in the entire draft.

He is big, physical and has outstanding hands. While he may not have top-shelf overall speed, he more than makes up for it with his ability to outjump defenders and run them over.

If he lands on the Vikings, Blackmon will instantly become the top target, which means 80 catches is in the realm of possibility. If Blackmon ends up with 80 catches his rookie year, he’s going to be Pr- Bowl bound.

4. Cleveland Browns: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor

I’m not sold on RGIII.

He had one heck of a junior season, no doubt about it.

But I still have concerns about his ability to throw for a high percentage downfield and when he’s flushed out of the pocket. He is certainly no lock to last in the league for five years, let alone make a Pro Bowl.

5-8

The marijuana possession charge will be a distant memory by the time April rolls around. After he shows his absurd athletic attributes at the NFL combine, all will be forgotten.

6. Washington Redskins: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

The 5’11", 225-pound back is a physical specimen that hasn’t been seen coming out of the draft since Adrian Peterson. There is no question he can handle a 16-game schedule and Richardson already has two games of championship experience under his belt.

What gives him the opportunity to become the best running back in football is his ability to explode after being hit. Most players go down after a defender strikes, Richardson bounces off them and bursts.

Don’t forget, he caught 29 passes for 338 yards and three TDs as well. He is the complete package and would be a top fantasy draft pick if he lands in the run-heavy Redskins offense that is predicated on a strong running back. This guy has the potential to win an MVP award and I think at least five Pro Bowls are in his future.

7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU

Claiborne may have not gotten the headlines of Tyrann Mathieu, but he had just as good of a season for the No. 2 ranked defense in the country.

His ball and recovery skills are something special. The Pro Bowl is in his future. The question is how many?

9. Miami Dolphins*: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa

The Dolphins have a quietly-strong defense, but lack several pieces on offense to become a contender. Landing Reiff produces consistency on the line and the sort of work ethic that the ‘Fins need to infuse on offense. His experience allows him to start from Day 1.

10. Buffalo Bills: Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina

One of the riskier picks in the draft, few players have the size of Coples. His 6’6" reach allows him to shove opponents away. If the Bills can convince him to play hard every down, their D-Line will be set for years after drafting Marcell Dareus No. 3 overall a season ago. The problem is Coples reminds me a lot of Nick Fairley, who had a less than stellar rookie season because of his lack of work ethic.

13-16

The best interior lineman in the draft should help clear up the unpredictability of the Cardinals' running game.

14. Dallas Cowboys: Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama

The 6'2", 265-pound pass rusher can team up with DeMarcus Ware to form a lethal 1-2 punch.

Upshaw made an immediate impact at ‘Bama as a freshman and has shown steady improvement throughout his entire collegiate career. The defensive MVP of the 2012 championship game and second-team AP All-American will be able to contribute from Day 1.

He is one of the most NFL-ready players in this entire draft. The Magic Eight Ball sees multiple Pro Bowls for Upshaw.

15. Philadelphia Eagles: Luke Kuechly, ILB, Boston College

There is no question that Philly needs a linebacker that can step in right away and Kuechly is the guy. The 6'3", 240-pound Kuechly has the speed and size to justify a spot in the top 15.

The leading tackler in the nation will be helpful from Day 1, but the ceiling on Kuechly isn’t as high as some of the other linebackers available.

16. New York Jets:Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame

Skipping the Senior Bowl isn’t the smartest of ideas, but his talent will erase any doubts at the combine. He holds multiple records at Notre Dame and his senior season (1,147 yards, nine TDs) is more than enough to get excited about an outstanding pro career.

He has ideal size (6'3", 225 pounds) and outstanding hands. He also has the speed and explosiveness out of breaks to create separation from corners.

Aside from Blackmon, Floyd has the best chance to make the Pro Bowl as a wide receiver in his rookie season.

17-20

Glenn is a tremendous value pick at No. 17. He excels in a power running scheme which is the style Cincinnati implements. Perfect fit.

18. San Diego Chargers: Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State

Adams is vaulting up the draft board with his strong performance in the Senior Bowl and would be a mammoth help to a depleted Chargers O-Line.

19. Chicago Bears: Lamar Miller, RB, Miami

Miller is a relatively unknown player that doesn’t get the credit he deserves.

A red-shirt sophomore with fresh legs, the 5’11’, 212-pound back possess the ability to run between the tackles while also possessing the speed to bust off a huge run. He is a one-cut runner that has great vision and the agility to squeeze into tiny holes.

I’d put money on watching Miller make at least one appearance in Hawaii.

20. Tennessee Titans: Devon Still, DT, Penn State

Still has the bulk strength that translates instantly. If he continues to develop in the weight room, there’s a chance Still becomes the strongest player in the league at some point. He will be a standout at the combine.

Jenkins was a top-10 pick last year but blew his senior season with a marijuana bust. He is still a first-round talent, but needs to mature in the next three months. Assuming he has a strong next couple of weeks, Jenkins is going to be in a team like the Browns’ rotation rather quickly.

23. Detroit Lions: Baylor Vontaze Burfict, ILB, Arizona State

The Lions need to draft a linebacker in Round 1 and Burfict is the best available.

24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Dontari Poe, NT, Memphis

Casey Hampton and the majority of the D-Line is getting old and drafting young guys needs to happen now.

25-28

Incredibly fast at 5'10", 190 pounds, Wright had an eye-popping 1,663 yards and 14 TDs his senior season, but how much of that was because of RGIII?

I’m calling first-round bust for Wright, especially if Tim Tebow is his quarterback.

26. Houston Texans: Alfonzo Dennard, CB, Nebraska

Dennard has the speed and strength to be a third corner right away. He didn’t impress at the Senior Bowl and needs to have a strong showing at the combine to stay in the first round.

27. New England Patriots (from Saints): Chris Polk, RB, Washington

He had a stunning college career and has the foot speed to break off a huge run on any given play. The Pats have two picks to play with and grabbing Polk at No. 27 would be a steal.

He has the size and speed to instantly be a factor in an already stellar offense. Polk displays impeccable patience as he waits for his blocks to come to fruition and hits the crease at 100 miles an hour.

Polk rounds out a terrific trio of first-round backs that are all capable of making the Pro Bowl multiple times.

28. Green Bay Packers: Markelle Martin, S, Oklahoma State

The Packers had the poorest pass defense in the NFL this season and their safeties were a big offender. Martin is the best available.

29. San Francisco 49ers: Andre Branch, DE, Clemson

Adding more depth to keep everybody fresh would make the No. 1-rated rush defense even deadlier. The 49ers were close in 2011 and only need to apply minor alterations with the roster. Grabbing a receiver here wouldn’t be a bad move either.

30. Baltimore Ravens: Dont’a Hightower, ILB, Alabama

Ray Lewis is reaching the end of his career and grooming a potential replacement is the right move.

31. New York Giants: Zach Brown, OLB, UNC

Brown is a strong tackler that is just the kind of tough-minded defender that head coach Tom Coughlin covets.

32. New England Patriots: Jared Crick, DE, Nebraska

If it wasn’t for a season-ending injury in October, Crick would be much higher. It’s a perfect blend of drafting for need and best available player. The only reason I believe he will fall so far is an injury that robbed him of the last two months of his collegiate career. Crick is going to end up as one of the big surprises in the ’12 draft regardless of where he’s drafted.

The last player drafted in the first round is a perennial Pro Bowler because of his speed and ability to punish O-Lineman in his way.
